6 most-hyped beauty products from May

Following is a transcript of the video.

Nico Reyes: There are so many new beauty products being released all the time, so we gathered some of the most hyped from the last month to test for ourselves.

First up, we have the Fenty Beauty Bright Fix Eye Brightener Concealer. I feel like I was confused as to what this actually was, because the shade range actually had normal concealer shades and what I would consider more corrector shades. So I went with the peach one to use as a corrector/brightener under my concealer. I guess it's supposed to conceal and brighten and correct. I did like the brightening effect with this, although it is more subtle. I feel like it's super lightweight and blendable. It's not a thick consistency at all, so you can layer it up if you want. That's what I tried to do. However, I don't think the effect is that impressive where I can say it's worth $25.

I was very intrigued by this KVD Beauty ModCon Liquid-Gel Blush, just because of the term "Liquid-Gel." The texture of this is very bizarre. It's very thin, and it feels like nothing. I can't even explain it well. But I was nervous to put this on foundation, because I felt like it was going to break it up. It didn't. I actually liked this way more than I thought I was going to, but it is a little sheer for me. I did end up adding more, but the problem when you do that is that it adds more shininess, which I didn't love, but I don't hate this. I'm gonna say that $26 for it feels excessive.

NYX came out with this Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick, which reminded me a lot of its Shine Loud High Shine Lip Color, only without the gloss. NYX, please shorten your product names. It's basically that, but just a more matte liquid lipstick. I'm a fully converted gloss girl now, so applying a liquid lipstick did have me stressed out, but the formula is actually pretty nice. I did one thin layer, which I think is key for products like this because I find that they do not layer well, but one layer was all I needed for full coverage. I ate, I drank, and I wore this lipstick for over eight hours, and it stayed looking good. It's pretty transfer-proof. I did see some fading on the inside of my mouth, but overall I think this is great, for people who are into this sort of thing.

I was so excited for this Maybelline Fit Me Tinted Moisturizer, because I love the Fit Me line and skin tints are so popular right now, but this sucked so bad. I'm so disappointed. Off of the face, the texture honestly felt really nice and hydrating. But then I started applying, and it dried down so quickly, I couldn't blend it in. I was beating my own face with my sponge, trying to get it to move, and it didn't. I completely removed it and reapplied it again, but it still was not the most flattering on my skin. I just think it made my texture worse and also caked up in some areas and overall just looked very not good. Don't buy this one.

Next, we have the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder. I feel like I said that in Spanish, but it's supposed to be French. I'm going to start off by saying I really liked this, but that is not me saying you need a $58 setting powder. I'm just saying if you were looking for a $58 setting powder, I would get this one. The multicolored powder thing looks cool, but they all kind of blend into one pretty translucent shade. I think this actually did a nice job of smoothing out my pores, and it set my makeup without making me feel dry. I did feel like there was some illuminating effect, which is what I think the green and purple powders are for. But this has a very perfumy smell, which I hate. I choked several times. Let's ban scents in makeup. Thank you so much. And, lastly, we have another weird blush.

This is the Bite Beauty Daycation Whipped Cream Blush. I feel like the worst part about this blush is the packaging. It's so hard to get any product out, and when you do, it just kind of shoots out, so you get so much product and kind of waste it. But I do like the texture. It's kind of mousse-y, and the color of the blush itself is very pretty. It's glowy, but I feel like it's a little too metallic for it to look like natural dewiness, if that makes any sense. I do feel like the metallicness enhanced my texture a bit, but it wasn't too bad. I just think that for $32, I've tried better liquid-blush formulas. But you can actually use this on the eyes, and I like it more as kind of a cream shadow than I do as a blush.
